1987 45hp classic fifty carbs.

[Spillman1979]

How hard is to remove the carbs on this motor, and how would one go about cleaning them? Any help would be great, thank you.

No one had any input?

A manual explains how. Got one?

Cleaning means rebuilding with 2 kits, one for each carb and soaking the disassembled carbs in carb cleaner.

Thank you, I do have a manual actually two to be exact. I was just wanting everyone's input.

Your best bet is to post what your motor is doing / not doing !----------Often folks want to start with the carburetors for some reason ?--------------What other trouble shooting has been done that leads you to believe there is a carburetor issue ?

Spill - Are you still working on this issue? http://forums.iboats.com/forum/engi...147835-please-help-87-mercury-classic-50-45hp

Is the fuel fresh? Other than the the impeller R&R, has any other work been done? Did the spark test and drop test show anything?

Compression check was 120 in all 4cyl, spark test showed great spark on all. I replaced the propeller with exact one that came with engine. Engine runs fine on muffin in driveway in gear and out. I have ordered a new fuel pump rebuild kit but hasn't came yet.
